I had to replace my modem/router combo 2.0 to a newer 3.1 because the original burned out due a power surge. The 2.0 was rated for speeds faster my my internet plan The hard wire connecton gave me the rated speed of my plan but the wifi part I was only able to give me around 60% rated speed. The newer 3.1 gave me 90 to 95 % of my plan speed. So short answer is I am not getting faster speed but getting closer to 100% of the speed i am paying for. Devices do get old since they are running 24/7 and newer ones are up to date with the current technology. If you have a stand alone router you to make sure your firmware is regularly up to date
